Help design a tee shirt for Peggy?
Although Peggy is inching her way up in the business world, she is completely lost in the Game Between Men and Women. Her seduction efforts with Hamburger Guy were painful to watch and when she is the seductee, she capitulates in 1.5 seconds, losing the entire thrill of the chase, which is often even more fun than the culmination. She's a nice Brooklyn girl with no clue. As a first step in helping Peggy learn to communicate, I propose we should design her some cyber tee shirts to wear to convey her sexual messages. For example, one that would say "I M E-Z" when she is looking to hook up, or one that says,"You can't touch this" when she is playing hard to get. (She really does need to learn how to play that one!)
Ok, sophisticated men and women of the MM forum, design Peggy a shirt!
This is easy:
"Yell at me and I have sex".
Her shirt would say:
"Take it, break it, share it, love it"
Head shot of Lionel Richie during his Commodores days with "Easy like Sunday morning." written in cursive underneath. Black shirt, gold writing.
Or a head shot of her fiance Fred Armison with the caption "I'm too sexy for this shirt". For those of you born before 1970, the group Right Said Fred had a cute little ditty in the early 90's titled "I'm too sexy". And no, I won't copy the lyrics here. Look it up yourself on Google. Better yet, cough up the $0.99 and download it from i-tunes.
God I could do this all day great post.
Here's a few
"Catholic girls do it on their knees"
"My boyfriend's wife hates me"
"I wish I had a penis"
"Down for what ever"
"Sleeps well with others"
"Corporate Whore"
"You can't be first but you can be next"
Thanks flowerpower! This is great!
"Alpha Female"
OK, I had some coffee so here goes:
"Angel of the Morning" (with thanks to Merilee Rush)
"What glass ceiling?"
"Will work for sex"
"Got Hermes?"
"Save a turkey...eat duck"
Ok, now I've skeeved myself out...I'm done for now!
Sticking with 1963:
"You Really Got A Hold on Me" (Miracles)
"I'm Leaving It Up to You" (Dale and Grace)
"Sugar Shack" (Jimmy Gilmer & The Fireballs)
"Hello Stranger" (Barbara Lewis)
"Devil in Disguise" (Elvis)
"Come and Get These Memories"(Martha & the Vandellas)
"Walk Right In" (Rooftop Singers)
"Candy Girl" (Four Seasons)
"Foolish Little Girl" (Shirelles/Lonnie Mack)
"Fools Rush In" (Rick Nelson)
"Little Town Flirt" (Del Shannon)
This thread is great Flowerpower! Uber creative.
"I climb corporate ladders, and the men on top of them!"
You're all brilliant! Good on you, Flowerpower for thinking this up. I'm gonna have some coffee and see if I can add a logo once the caffeine kicks in.
Blue Runner--you should open a tee shirt shop! :-D
Everyone, these are hilarious!
"Got Trojans?"
Just say "Please" - I'm from Bay Ridge, we have manners.
"Wanna see where I can put my darling little ankles?"
"Get me naked, put a bag over my head, and really evaluate me."
"Desser"t
I 'm Peggy Olson and I want to have sex
"Do you feel lucky?"
"A Dingo Ate My Baby"
"Like" a Virgin
....."Veni, vidi, vici."
(think Sex & The City) "I'm a Gertrude Stein"
"Just do him"
"Just do it...in the morning"
"Why wasn't I invited?"
"I'm a good drinker"
"Holier than thou"
"Have you seen my ________?" (ponytail, dignity, lovechild, etc.)
"I HEART being an underpaid copyrighter"
"I screwed Duck Phillips and all I got was this lousy Hermes scarf"
"Just Pull It Up!" (her skirt, that is)
"You had me at your disturbing sexual comment"
@60's Child: If the folks at Hermes have seen your t-shirt idea, they are probably thinking to themselves, "Wow, that was the best advertising money we ever spent."
Rip me off with your teeth
Lord I love a good Duck
Thanks Thirteen!
Penultimate I love it!
chattie pattie was that a Lucky Strike reference as well?
Here's another
"I'm not fat, I'm pregnant"
1963, 2009:
I see the concept of a healthy single woman with a pursuit for the American Dream who has adult, consensual sex is still considered fodder for insult and nasty jokes--
Would it bother so many people if Peggy weren't career-minded?
What do the t-shirts of Pete and Duck say--the men who had sex with Peggy?
What about Don, or Roger? Especially Roger, having the affair with his secretary, rolling around the floor with twin underage girls until he has a heart attack, marrying a 20 year old. Don, who's really Dick, with his various women and the girl in California. Both married with children.
Ten more years and people will all insult the feminist movement too, which will liberate women like Peggy from having to settle for the life she has until laws and (some) minds are changed.
Best post and comments in months!! Thanks everyone.
Waised on whiskey but Cold Duck makes me quack.
Mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be Campbells.
Dirty Ducks Done Dirt Cheap
.....(I don't know, but I don't think anyone is going to top that "Dingo" comment!)
...my favorites so far are- "Save a turkey...eat duck"
& "I screwed Duck Phillips and all I got was this lousy Hermes scarf"...They are all great!!
"I'm Toasted"
(Printed across the front of her T-Shirt) "At least you're not looking at my bad haircut"
Having Peggy wear a camouflage T-shirt to avoid Duck seeing her anymore.
"Whiskey - It's not just for breakfast anymore"
@fanofmad: I'm truly sorry (no sarcasm) if my comment offended you. We were just having some Wednesday morning fun. That's what happens when the juice of the last episode has been wrung dry. I'm pretty sure most of us on this thread are pro-woman and like Peggy.
Peggy is my favourite character. I think her life is more exciting and challenging than either Betty's or Joan's. She chooses the road less taken, and I have nothing but admiration for her. I hope Duck is serious about his appreciation for Peggy. Though I admit that that may not be the case. She may not be a va-voom girl, but she grows on people because she has real smarts and substance. But as with any friend who I love and respect, they're not above me making fun of them now and then. Hence, this morning.
A cartoon Daffy saying "Rabbit Season!"
Thank you for acknowledging my concern, NeverNotTasty-- it's just humor at the sake of women....(ugh). Also, some of the comments really are just bizarre and insulting.
Seriously----Why Peggy?
Do viewers really see her struggle with life and career as something to make fun of or be vulgar about? Why that character more than others?
It would be better to not single out one character perhaps.
I think everyone loves Peggy,and I'm not trying to make a joke.But she really has had a bulls eye on her from the start. She's so young and naive and everyone knows it. She's being bulldozed for sure and deep down she knows it. Like the thread reads she seems to have trouble communicating how she really feels. She doesn't know how to stand up for herself. Women just didn't have the respect they deserved in that era.
How about a shirt that says:
"I've been treated like a piece of meat around here and I'm not gonna take it laying down anymore!"
Sorry I had to go there.
Shirts for the men they would all say;
"CAD!!"
And Don Draper, he would look the prettiest in his.
Can anyone make up some more t-shirt slogans for the male characters on the show?
Paul: What! Prententious. Moi?
Cold Duck
I don't think so
Ok, let's be fair & sock it to the men too!
"Don Juana do me?" ...that's all I got!
Don: I'm too sexy for my own good
Roger: One bad turn deserves another
Ken: I've got lots of phone numbers!
"Wanna?" ..... (for Don's t-shirt)
"Silver F***S" ..... (for Roger's t-shirt)
still working on Pete, Paul, Ken and Bert....
Pete - "Let's Chip and Dip"
LOL everyone!
Peggy: I Don: Ad Execs Do It Better
Pete: Humps Like A Camel
Bert: "Turning Japanese" album cover
Joan: Stop Staring
Sal: Baltimore Is For Lovers
Paul: Is It 4:20 Yet?
fanofmad, you truly do have a good point, but I think this thread is just for laughs and nothing anti-women was intended. I'm a feminist myself and at least that's how I'm interpreting it. Besides, if we were being serious, women didn't even *wear* t-shirts in '63. Mostly only young boys did. :)
Auburn Annie, I love your '63 playlist. Excellent choices.
Argh, my post got messed up. Guess I shouldn't have tried to put a heart symbol. It was supposed to say: Peggy: I Heart Angry Sex
I saw this on a tee shirt: "While you were reading this, I just farted." So here are my variations on this theme:
Peggy: "While you were busy looking at my ass, I just farted."
Don:"While you were wondering how much Vitalis I use on my hair, I just farted."
Ken: "While you were deciding that I was a total buffoon, I just farted."
Guy:" While you were noticing that I only have one foot, I just farted."
Joan: "While you were estimating my cup size, I just farted."
Joan: My eyes are higher up
Roger: My trophy wife can beat up your trophy wife
Sal: Is my slip showing?
Peggy: I've got everything I need but you can't have any because I want more.
I adore Peggy's character. She is "the new woman". Ahead of her time. More cunning than anyone,even Don, gives her credit for. Not naive. She has grit!
Peggy: "Men call me a bird because I pick up worms"
Roger: "Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after"
Don: "I'm out of bed and dressed, what more do you want?"
Betty: "Be good to your kids, they pick out your nursing home"
A T- shirt for Betty
"My husband took me on a trip to
Rome and we didn't even buy anyone
a stupid T- shirt"
There are so many crazy ideas here! I laughed reading such ones like:
"My boyfriend's wife hates me"
"I wish I had a penis"
It is hilarious! I must definitely order a clothing with these phrases. Thanks for the nice ideas here!
